MEXICO CITY, Aug. 20.—The story
of how President Huerta sent an "ul
timatum" to the United States Em
bassy Monday night demanding im
mediate recognition of Mexico by the
United States was told to-day for the
first lime
President Huerta, in replying to the
note from President Wilson, offet'ing
euggentions for the pacification of
Mexico, rejected all President Wil
son's proposals ar.d declared that the
'’il Mexican regime must be recognized
by the United States within twelve
hours.
The Mexican Ministers knew the
contents of the note, having had a
hand in Its formation Acting Foreign
Minister Gamboa objected to the ag
gressive tone, but War Minister Blan-
quet and Minister of the Interior
Urrutia thought that the tone of the
note was no stronger than the oc
casion demanded.
Accordingly this note, which had
all the qualifications of an interna
tional ultimatum, was transmitted to
Charge d'Affalres O'Shaughnessy, of
the United States Embassy. Mr.
O’Shaughnessy and John Lind, the
special envoy from President Wilson,
lost no time in breaking the .seals.
Both were amazed at the tenor of the
note, and the truculent threats of war
unless the United States recognized
Mexico.
“I must see President Huerta at
once,” declared Mr. Lind.
Goes to President’s Room.
Despite the fact that the special
envoy had not been Invited to the
Kational Palace, being persona non
grata to the Mexican Government
and in spite of the fact that the hour
•was nearly midnight. Mr. Lind and
Mr. O'Shaughnessy Jumped into an
automobile and sped to the National
Palace.
Lights were blazing in the presi
dential suite so the belated visitors
. ..knew that Huerta was at home, but
) ’was he “at home" in an official sense
to his visitors? That was the im
portant question.
Mr. O’Shaughnessy was recognized
by the sentries at the gate, but they
turned questioning eyes upon Mr.
( Lind who stood impatiently awaiting
entrance.
"It is official business; we must
enter and see the President,” declared
the Charge d’Affalres.
After a slight delay the men were
permitted to enter the visitors’ cham
ber. Almost immediately Huerta en
tered. The President had discarded
his military uniform and was dressed
In civilian attire.
Talks Plainly to Huerta,
in spite of the infringement on
diplomatic usage, Mr. Lind proceeded
right away to enter upon his diplo
matic work. He told Huerta of the
disastrous consequences which must
necessarily follow the transmission of
the ultimatum to Washington.
So forcefully did he talk that the
hard lines of determination in the
old soldier's face relaxed and he list
ened patiently with few interruptions
Huerta got up and paced up and
down the room as he replied. He
said that he believed the course of
the United States would wreck the
Mexican Government, but that he did
not want to plunge his already im
poverished country Into war. He
finally consented to cut out the de
mand for recognition from his reply
to the Wilson note, although no
amount of persuasion could Induce

Dr. W. .J McNaughton, convicted

tenced to be hanged September 6
was granted another respite of one
month by Governor Slaton Wednes
day morning.
It was announced in the office of
the Governor to-day that the further
respite was granted because the Gov

ten days, and will therefore not have
sufficient time to consider the case
before the * date set for the execu
tion of the condemned man.
All evidence and papers in the case
have been in the hands of the State
Prison Commission for several weeks,
but no action will be taken now.
All of September probably will be
devoted to considering the case and
hearing those who are interested in
it. the recommendation of the board
probably will go to the Governor a
few days before the date now set for

The end of the trial of Leo M. Frank, except for the
arguments, came at 5:14 "Wednesday afternoon. The
State closed its case at 4:10, and as soon as certain pieces
of documentary evidence had been submitted by Solicitor
Dorsey, the defensebegan its brief sur-rebuttal.
The arguments will begin at 9 o’clock Thursday
morning. Judge Roan said that he did not propose to
cut the attorneys in the length of their speeches. So
muc hevidence has been submitted that the judge did not
think the attorneys should be bound.
Frank took the stand just before adjournment, and made a
statement in rebuttal of several of the charges of improper conduct
that had been made against him in the State’s rebuttal. He made
positive denial that he ever had gone into the dressing room on
the fourth floor with Miss Rebecca Carson, a forelady, defending
her character, and asserted again that he did not know Mary Pha
gan by name.
“The statement of that Turner boy is false,’’ he declared.
‘' The testimony of two young women that they heard me call Mary
Phagan by her first name is a mistake. I did not know her name,
and could not have called her either Mary’ or -Miss Phagan.’
“I may have spoken to her. I speak to most of the employees.
“The statement that I entered the dressing room with Miss
Rebecca Carson is utterly false. It is unfair to the young lady.
So far as I know, she is a young woman of unblemished character.’’
The strong probability Wednesday night was that Frank’s
fate would be in the hands of the jurors late Thursday or some
time during Friday's session.
The close of the State’s case was marked by a severe grilling
of Detective J. V. Starnes by Attorney Rosser. The lawyer tried
to make it appear that Starnes had kept Minola McKnight locked
up and had given her the third degree until she Anally had signed
the affidavit incriminating Frank in order to obtain her release.
Dorsey put in evidence statements of Miss Hattie Hall, Wade
Campbell, Minola McKnight and other of the defense’s witnesses
who had sworn differently on the stand than they had at the
Coroner’s inquest or at his office.
The State finished the submission of its documentary evidence
at 4:50 o’clock and the defense called for T. Y. Brent, who said he
had heard Conductor Kenley, a State’s witness, villify Frank.
Harry Scott, Pinkerton detective, was recalled in an attack
on Frank’s own story, at the afternoon session Wednesday.
W. T. Dobbs, a member of the city fire department, directly
contradicted W. M. Matthews, one of the defense’s witnesses and
motorman of the car on which Mary Phagan came to town April
26, in the course of his testimony.
Dobbs testified that he saw Matthews about three days after
the crime and that Matthews told him that Mary Phagan had rid
den with him that day, that she got off at Marietta and Forsyth
streets, and that the Epps boy was with her.
Matthews testified when on the stand that the Phagan girl did
not get off at Marietta and Forsyth streets, but rode on to Broad
and Hunter streets, and that he did not see the Epps boy with her.
L. S. Kendrick, who was night watchman at the pencil factory
before Newt Lee was engaged, testified that he had gone to the
factory frequently on Saturday afternoons and on occasions had
seen Jim Conley as well as other negroes hanging around on the
first floor. Kendrick also said he had run a tape through the
time clock since the murder, making a record upon it, and that it
had required only three or four minutes to do it. The tape was
placed in evidence.
Ivy Jones, a negro driver, tes
tified to seeing Jim Conley be
tween 1 and 2 o’clock the after
noon of the murder, lie said that
he walked with Conley toward
Conley’s home and left him at
Hunter and Davis streets.
J. D. Reed, a tile layer, waa called
for the purpose ot impeaching the
testimony of W. T. Hollis, conductor
on the car on which Mary Phagan
came to town. Reed said Hollis had
told him that Epps had got on the
car with the girl and that the two
had talked together as though they
were sweethearts.
Progresses In Attack
On Frank’s Character.
Solicitor Dorsey renewed his de
termined attaoleupon the character of I go into the dressing room on two
Leo M. Frank. Wednesday, for the occasions. Miss Grffln testifiej!lt had
first time since the testimony of Jim
Conley and the Insurance man, Ash
ley Jones, was able to make a little
progress In the introduction of this
sort of testimony.
Having found the opening, th e So
licitor made the most of his advan
tage, and before the noon recess had
arrived ten witnesses, most of them
young girls, had sworn that Frank’s
general character was bad and that
his moral character was the same.
The most sensational bit. of testi
mony involved one of the foreladies.
Two of the girls Who formerly had
worked in the factory, Miss Myrtice
Cato and Miss Maggie Griffin, testi
fied that they had seen Frank go into
the dressing room on the fourth floor
with Miss Rebecca Carson, who was
a witness for Frank only a few days
ago.
Miss Cato sad she had seen the two
